Defensive fighters with low volume like mayweather or lara don't have the style to beat ggg. You need someone with extremely high volume but at the same time the person needs to have olympic amateur pedigree to match his iq along with an iron chin. This is why brook did okay in some rounds because of the high volume. The problem is that you can do this for a couple rounds but to do this for 12 rounds is very difficult because ggg starts to land and the opponent becomes fatigued. Someone who pot shots and throws 2-3 shots per round will have zero chance to beat ggg. Fighting against the ropes or on the back foot is a complete waste of time. You need to stay in the pocket have a very high ring iq along with an iron chin to be able to take his shots because you will get hit. Some people say ggg won't risk his chin. This is not true because GGG will walk through fire to land his shots if need be. Look at the ouma fight. GGG is too accurate with his shots as well so having an iron chin is a must. A real life rocky balboa would be someone who would stand a chance. However, such a fighter dosen't exist at the moment.
Back him up! Step out (get to his sides) as you back him up so your not in front of him. You MUST punch in combination to be able to land something he doesn't see! Brooks upper cut landed strong because GGG didn't see it coming.
We've seen him get hit flush but land his own at the same time with devastating results for his opponents not him. Tough guy.

If you go in and fight GGG Paul Williams style, then you get KTFO Paul Williams style (Sergio Martinez style 2nd fight). You need to box GGG in an educated way, turn him, and stay on your jab, Canelo is the only fighter in around 160 that could fight that way IMO. Lara would use movement, and Eubank would use volume punching, high energy etc but he doesn't have the experience to deal with GGG yet. Canelo IMO would beat GGG, and the reason is because by the time they fight GGG would be too old for him, this would remind me of Hatton wrestling a old Tyszu to death.
Ouma was very active during the fight and so was brook. If you're throwing 3 shots per round you'll get destroyed.
It is BOXING of course Activity is needed but where and when you choose to be active is MORE IMPORTANT! Being active while on your Backfoot vs GGG gets you KNOCKED OUT! GGG loves to have that Distance and he loves to STALK HIS PREY I think he is at his best when he can come forward with no resistance. Even more deadly when his opponent Corner themselves! GGG is accurate with those Power Shots so he will get through your Guard:

YOU CANNOT Corner yourself vs GGG and Jacobs corner himself A LOT even vs guys not known for Power Jacobs always somehow find himself against the Ropes:

I didn't give Brook more than 1 round. I don't remember him throwing a high volume of punches in any round. Brook really didn't do very well. He was damn near KOed in round 1. There was never much doubt he would get KOed and that was probably GGG's worst fight. Someone throwing lots of punches at GGG does increase their chances of getting hit. GGG is just a hard guy to beat no matter what game plan a boxer uses.
Wrong!
Canelo is not the one. he doesn't have the fleet feet to get out of dodge from GGG's offensive arsenal which is 2 handed to head and body.
You couldn't be more WRONG. Canelo is actually one of the best defensive fighters in all of boxing. If you really knew boxing, you'd know this. Every fighter who is good defensively, doesn't have to move their feet in order to be successful. Canelo has excellent upper body movement and head movement. He doesn't have to move his feet. Smh. GGG WILL miss and maybe tire in their fight. Canelo has the tools man. Only a HATER thinks otherwise.
Totally disagree, High Volume leaves you open. You have to do a little bit of EVERYTHING vs GGG but I do think INSIDE is where you need to be, if you can get inside like Willie Monroe Jr did and be able to be slippery defensively and most importantly CIRCLE and don't back straight up but also have the timing to counter him then that might be your best chance!

Same with Kassim Ouma, INSIDE is where he had success vs GGG
That is easier said than done though because 80% of boxing seem to Lack or be very reluctant to work inside. Like Broner Saturday, most fighter Hug It Out until the ref come and they don't free their hands and work inside. Jacobs don't have that inside game like that nor does he have the reflexes, I see GGG hurting him, then him trying to run away, trapping himself against the Ropes which he still does, even did it vs Mora a few times and Mora don't even have Power. He does that vs GGG he might get knocked out the ring like B-Hop!
Ouma was very active during the fight and so was brook. If you're throwing 3 shots per round you'll get destroyed.
Lets see GGG in 8-9 intensive rounds ,he will slow down too ,he will get hit and tired like everybody,imo Canelo can put much better performance then Brook.
What you really need to beat Lil g is a good chin/great defense, a great jab, good footwork, and decent power of your own.
If you take a look at his past opponents, pretty much all of them lacked 2 of these 4.
Jacobs appears to have at least 3 of these and if he shows all 4, he'll beat Gennady.

Ward is exactly the kind of fighter GGG will have the most problems with. I just don't see any other style that can consistently win rounds against him given his power, chin, commitment to body work, jab, and ability to cut the ring off.
I disagree. A counter puncher with good popcorn handle him. Once he has triple G thinking how he is going to get in it will slow him down and be more selective with his punches
You need the work rate and the durability to take what Golovkin can fire back at you if you are going to try to make it a fire fight.
I can't think of anybody really at 160 that can fit the bill.
I like Jacobs, good pop in both hands, has shown the ability to finish with high volume when he has a guy hurt.
But I don't see him being able to withstand the inevitable when it comes to Golovkin's pressure and power.
Who knows if Canelo ever happens, but I'd pick Golovkin there too.
True. Nobody at 160 beating Golovkin. They all have a plan until they get cracked and then it's oops, wait a minute.
I want somebody to go to the body HARD when facing him! body punching seems to be a lost art in boxing! considering the fact that hardly any middle-weights accept Golovkin are devastating head hunters...
If I was a middle-weight, and facing Golovkin i would not even bother with head shots! i would just concentrate on body shots! Golovkin is open to body shots, due to his stance and he is not very fast at getting out of range!
After afew rounds of being whacked to the body, his punching technique will start to fail...
Mayweather not being able to beat GGG is more to do with him being a WW than an issue of styles....if there was someone at MW with Floyd's skill set and physical attributes they would be heavily favoured to beat Golovkin.
Canelo can do it...
Canelo can do it. He is very intelligent in the ring and very disciplined as well. You also need defense to beat GGG. Most of his opponents lack this quality, Canelo has A Level defense right now and can adjust to his opponents. He might make GGG look like the robot he really is.
i dont't hink you need to throw a ton of volume, but i do think the fighter who beats golovkin is going to do it by backing him up and hitting him with power, probably via corner or doctor stoppage in between rounds. i;ve seen golovkin literally block punches with his face. he is there to be hit, so hit him.
fast, aggressive fighters who can take his punch and have power of their own will give golovkin problems. he wants to fight boxers, if you ahven't noticed. the guy had 350 amateur fights FFS. he does very, veyr well against guys who try and use the ring. arguably the best in the sport right now at applying measured but consistent and dangerous pressure with the jab.
Somebody who throws in volume will leave himself open, you don't wanna be taking counters from Golovkin, that's big no-no.
I think the best way to beat him is get inside his power, smoother him and work with single shots. Easier said than done of course. It's going to take somebody extremely skilled or naturally way bigger to beat him.
